My Ride: 545 SE Auto in Black
now it was time to take it to my mates garage for some lowering and exhaust fitting
Stripping the front shocks (I hate doing the 5 lol)
mmm where do theses go lol
front spring differance
back in
check out the length of the rear bolt which holds the bottom of the rear shock lol!
both rear inner arches have to come out to get the rear shock out, on the drivers side you also have to remove a few other bits
rear shock springs size
exhaust ..the old obe has to be cut off and the new one welded in the exhaust was a bit of a pain but got it done in the end
half done
not bad for a weekends work
now all he just needs to do is buy my Hamann 20" alloys lol! :

Great job guys -- wow!
Those are nice rims (Alpinas I assume), but agree a set of 20s would work better with the M5 kit.
Looking forward to seeing what you do to a 7 !!
